"We will continue to work diligently to address the issue of illegal mining in the Munduruku Indigenous territories in ParĂ¡ state," stated Toya Manchineri in a recent interview. The governments efforts to remove these miners from the area are crucial, but we must also ensure that proper measures are in place to prevent their return.It is important for public bodies to regularly monitor and inspect these territories even after the initial operation is completed. Without constant surveillance, we run the risk of the miners returning and continuing their destructive practices.Our goal is to protect the natural resources and preserve the cultural heritage of the Munduruku people. We understand that this will require ongoing efforts and cooperation from all parties involved.Therefore, we urge the government to take necessary steps to ensure that the expelling of illegal miners is not a temporary solution, but a long-term plan. We must work together to find sustainable solutions that will prevent these activities from happening in the future.We are committed to upholding the laws and regulations set forth by our government and will continue to work towards a safe and prosperous future for the Munduruku Indigenous territories. We believe that with proper measures in place, we can effectively address this issue and protect the land and its people
